Questions for Active Reading (Lightman and Goud)

pg371
1. In this particular story the technique was good in some sort to see preview of this story.

2. Yes it is important to know that lightman is a scientist because it gives the readers more insight of who is the main character. It's more clearer that Ligtman is a scientist because of all the scientific question stated. I don't believe a artist or social worker would write about earth in this manner.It's not like it can't happen but the specific manner of the story shows a scientist must have wrote it.

3.Lightman used a light hearted tone when at te end he was stating his views. He used a more serious tone when he was discussing other people concepts and so on. the effects of these tones show that there is a production for further research. the tones shows that there is a lot of questions that wants to be answered or moreso you can't always believe what you hear or read.
